***************************************************************** *******

*Ch.3 - Butterfly Room

"Hey, hey, please wake up" Sakura cried as she shake Rin to wake up. "I'm so sorry for causing you so much trouble, please don't die!"

Rin opened her eyes a bit to see Sakura crying. It had been a long time since Rin got hurt from a fight. Seeing Sakura cry, it reminded Rin of herself when she first met her master Xhing-Yi.

*thank god I'm not dead* Rin thought to herself as she closed her eyes again. Sakura had helped her to a nearby tree a settle her down underneath it.

She ran to the tree where Rins sword was nailed to and pulled it out, and ran back.

Rins clothes were wet and her hair was no longer in a ponytail. After putting the sword down next to Rin, Sakura went to find her old blue kimono.

The night was cold and Rin's headache had gotten worse from the fight. Sakura came back with the torn kimono and wrapped it around Rin for warmth.

She then made a fire and went to gather up Rins belongings where she dumped out before the fight. *Is she a woman then?* feeling a little stupid of what she thought Rin was before. She saw the youkai clothes on the ground and picked it up and went back to the fire.

Sakura settle the clothes down on a rock next to Rin and reached up to Rins sash to untie it. *Good, now that this samurai is a woman, I won't have any trouble worrying if

I should undress her or not* she sigh.

A hand snatched up to stop Sakura before she undo the sash. Rin open her eyes to see Sakura staring down with "what's wrong?" eyes.

"Leave it" Rin said as she let go of Sakura's arm and fell back to sleep.

**********

"Lord Sesshoumaru?" a youkai maid said as she enter his chambers.

"What is it?" the Lord said coldly at the maid.

"your uncle wants to know what your plans are for the upcoming event, he also wants to know how many guests you are inviting." said the maid.

"it will be as always".

"but, my lord, your uncle says that…." she was cut off with a growl from Sesshoumaru, and she left the room with a bow.

*how pathetic!!! Being the Lord of the West Lands and you still have your uncle treating you with care and celebrating your birthday like a child… Hump!!!* Sesshoumaru thought to himself…

This was the North Lands of where his mother was from, and his cousins were to inherit the land after the lord dies.

Being here in the North Lands for nearly a year and a half, Sesshoumaru became calmer than before.

Though it angers him at times when the servants enter his thoughts, but it was better than to have Jaken around to bug him.

The castle was surrounded by beautiful flowers and fresh cut grasses. The castle itself was made of marble and glass. The curtains were of silk and saffron, and the scenery was breathtaking.

But even with the beautiful surroundings, Sesshoumaru seems to be missing something in his life….

*What could it be?* he thought… *could it be tetsuseiga, Inuyasha's sword?*

"No…" he said to himself…. Even if he own Inuyasha's sword, what he felt can never satisfy him.

There was nothing that can seem to solve his problems in this matter of fact…

*I have everything, my sword that can heal, my sword that can kill, my fathers grounds, and I can have a mate any time….. what else do I want?* that thought made his demon blood boil and growl at himself.

He thought about this long, until he came to a conclusion that he was still mad at his father for marrying Inuyasha's mother.

"Dam you father….. My mother died because of you"…… his eyes were red from the fact.

He storm out of his room and walked down the hall. The hallway was made of pure white marble and the walls were done by white jade… the hall was decorated with silk and safon….

Candles were lit along the walls and there was a sculpture of a dragon along side of it also..

Sesshoumaru walked down the marble stairs and out of his private quarters into the garden.

From there, he dashed out of the castle walls into the woods, making sure that no one saw him…

*this will give me time to think and refresh my mind* he thought to himself as he headed off to the stream nearby.

**********

Rin woke up the next day. Her head still ache from the pain and her body was sore form the fight with the snake youkai last night.

Sakura came and sit next to her with a "good morning" smile.

"umm… good morning, how are you feeling?" she ask Rin.

Rin just stares at the girl as she raise her right hand to touch her left arm with and "ouch" expression.

"you are hurt, let me help you across the stream to my village so they can treat you with care. You can stay with us until your headache goes away." Sakura said.

Rin only nodded and put her hair up into a ponytail again. Sakura help Rin up to a standing position, and handed the Black Jaded Snake Sword to Rin and went back down to put her belongings in the folded shawl.

Rin took the sack without any insisting from Sakura as they cross the stream. They went up the trail to where Sakura's village was.

The people of the village seems to be working as always as Sakura walk with Rin holding her arm, making sure she won't fall to the ground with her heavy head.

As they make their way through the streets of the village, many young girls laugh at the sight of seeing the samurai with Sakura.

Many of the girls tries to make eye contact with the samurai but Rin avoids it. The girls laugh and giggle, in an annoying way of saying "oh my goodness, he's so cute" sort of way.

Rin roll her eyes at the sight of their laughers and at the thought of what they were thinking about.

The two walked until they came upon a house which look better than the ones they've pass.

"Sakura?" a female voice came from behind them… it was Hanna, Sakura's older sister.

"Hanna", Sakura said as they ran to embrace each other.

"Sakura, where were you, you got the whole town worried sick about you!!!" Hanna explains to her younger sister as they hugged each other again.

"where's father?" Sakura ask her sister.

"father and the rest of the men's went out to look for you, we look for you all night Sakura-san".

"I'm ok now, I'm home and thanks to this samurai woman here who helped me" Sakura says this extending a hand to Rin.

Rin felt the whole world turn around her as her body grew heavier for the headache.

Rin was now in a heavy breathing and sweats starts to form from her headache.

"There is no such thing as a samurai woman" Hanna scold her sister.

With that said, Rin fainted and fell to the ground. Hanna and Sakura gasp at the sight of her falling.

"hey, hey, are you alright, what's going on?" Sakura said in panic.

"Sakura-san, that's a very rude way of calling her that!" She scold her younger sister again.

"what?"

"calling her "hey", now you know better than that".

"well she never really did tell me what her name was". Sakura answer.

"hurry, we must get her inside", saying this as they both help each other to get Rin into the house.

**********

Rin woke up to find herself in a bedroom that was nicely decorated with obi's and flower pattern all over…

There were butterfly crafts and designs dangling down from the sealing… pink, green, yellow, orange….

A table from the left side of the wall from door point which held a samurai sword on top of it… next to the sword from the right was a scroll of painting and poetry…

There were two sleeping mats on the floor and now three, for the one that Rin was lying on, and candles on each side of the corners of the room.

Rin still had her samurai clothes on and her sack was put down next to her along with her sword.

Rin got up quickly as the door slide open. A woman came in with a tray of tea pot and a cup for Rin.

"you must be hungry my dear", said the woman… " I am Sakura and Hanna's mother Shinji, I thank you my dear for finding my daughter and returning her to us"… the older woman said this as she bow deeply in thanks for her daughters return.

"please, you mustn't show such respect. I am a traveler from far away and I have helped many people along my journey, there is no need for you to bow so deep towards me" Rin reply this as she adjust Shinji up to face her.

Shinji was a beautiful woman. Even with her age, her eyes remain its young beauty and grace.

She wore of a long orange kimono with a bright green obi. Her hair was put into a bun with a two chopsticks sticking out from both sides.

With the way that she was fairly dress and the decorated room, Rin knew that the family was a middle class. The sword that stood on the table, resembles that neither one of the family members was a samurai, or the father himself was once a samurai.

The door slide open again as Sakura and her sister Hanna walked in with a soft silk green kimono and a pink sash to go with it. Though the family was quite fair, there seems to be no servants to the family.

The girl place the garment down and sat next to their mother quietly.

"please, I must ask for your name my dear" Shinji ask Rin… "tell me why you have travel so far. If you were a man, then I won't be all in shock, but to see a beautiful young girl such as you to travel all by herself can take up some surprise even form a king".

"My name is Rin" she says this after clearing her throat. "I've come a long way to find the sword by the name of tenseiga".

"oh my dear!" Shinji gasp in shock. The two sisters stares at each other surprisingly to what Rin was saying.

"The sword tenseiga is own by a great Lord. Why is it that you need this sword Rin-chan?" The woman ask.

"umm….. I…. do not intend to speak of this, please forgive me, but I must finish my task". Rin reply.

"Very well Rin-chan, I will not speak of this no more"… she reach down where the garments were and handed it to Rin.

"Rin-chan, here is a fresh kimono and sash, in return of yours for my daughter… I thank you again for bringing back my daughter. I have much to repay you with Rin-chan, if you need anything, you may ask me and I will be at your services. Lunch is now ready but we must wait for our guest. My daughters will help you with your clothes now".

She said this as she headed for the slide door.

"There is no need for you daughters to help me dress aunty, I can help myself". Rin says this as Shinji was about to step out of the door.

Shinji turn back and look at Rin with questioning eyes.

"Are you sure Rin-chan? You have a headache and are not heal yet from your wounds last night"

Rin stares at Sakura and then back again at Shinji.

"I told you she won't let anyone see her in her privacy!" Sakura says as Hanna elbow her.

Shinji gives a smile and walks out of the room.

"we'll see you at lunch Rin-chan" Sakura said to Rin as she walks out of the room, followed by her sister Hanna.
